Quote from Serge Pustelnik:
You are absolutely correct in your logic. However, we have anticipated this even, and built relationships with large firms to use their borrowed list.
I thank you for your concern, but fortunately we saw this one coming 
Also, if for day-trading - it is fairly easy to get the stocks, all one needs to do is "locate them." If a stock is not on our short list, let us know which ones you need and we will locate them for you.
I hope I answered this adequately.
Dear Serge.
I got your point that Genesis will have a backup-system for providing shortable stocks.
HOWEVER, that thing you just explained isn't good enough to persuade active traders who does shorting.
Here is an example.
--------------------------------
1. Let's assume that I am an active trader with your company and I work at home and now I spot out an opportunity that I can make big money by shorting. But the stock I wanna short is not shortable.
2. I know that I can get it shortable by asking you to make it shortable for me.
3. So the next step is that I call or email you.
4. But Genesis is not available to receive my call or no body looks at my email.
5. I keep calling or emailing until someone at your company respond my call or read my email.
6. But it's too late since the best timing for shorting a specific stock is gone! even though now I have that stock shortable.
7. IT'S JUST TOO LATE!!!
----------------------------------------
The reason why I try to show the above example is that many small securities companies don't have enough staffs to deal with their traders' or retail custommers' requests.
Simply they don't have the system that works fast!!!
And I also personally foresee this with your company since I tried to call your company and sometimes there was no one to serve me except a female secratary !!!
If your company wanna become real competitive, it has to have the system that CYBER TRADER has.
With them, if I wanna ask some stocks shortable, I just use communication window which is just a part of their trading platform(CyberX2) and type what I want, and staffs always respond whithin 10 seconds and give me what I want.
It seems that there are always someone who check communication panel for their customers.
So with Cyber trader I don't have to call nor email them to ask them to make some stocks shortable to me!!!
To sum up my point, it's the real system that works not the nominal promises which will be useless in terms of response time.
Serge
I wanna ask you something.
Does or Will Genesis provide equivalent system that Cyber Trader has to provide more shortable stocks to its customers in terms of fast response time?
If Genesis does, I will consider to have an account with it.
Please let me know..
Shorting is very important especially in the bearish market like Today.
